At 7:39 AM a squad of dozens of Hamas militants raided the moshav in the morning. Security camera footage shows them arriving in a van, and entering the moshav through a side gate because the main gate was locked. On the footage two young women were seen running out of the gate and sheltering behind a car as they are shot at by a militant. They are subsequently saved by IDF soldiers.
